Abstract

The invention relates to a pedal system (1), wherein to enable the pedal system (1) equipped with an actuator (2) to reduce power consumption and put a pedal at an appropriate position when there is no need to operate the pedal. A system state control unit (6) changes pedal position to an end position or original position before deactivating the pedal system (1). It deactivates the pedal system based on information from a pedal position detection unit (4), pedal state detection unit (8), power supply state detection unit (9), and vehicle motion detection unit (10) and activates the pedal system based on information from a power supply state detection unit (9). It shifts pedal position toward the original position after activation of the pedal system (1).
